Juan R. Melecio shared his time with electoral workers and members of the press on his visits to the Electoral Colleges. 7 Message from the President or the State Elections Commission this Freport represents the successful closing of a chapter filled with great achievements in the electoral field. Carrying out eight electoral events between 1991 and 1996 gave the Commission the opportunity to accomplish a world record number of results in electoral events successfully held and reported. Our personnel set itself to the task in body and soul, to grow day by day, and standing shoulder to shoulder regardless of political affiliations. They are the true anonymous heroes of the mission we have accomplished. With this same degree of effort we were able to keep our Agency moving forward and achieve a 100% improvement of our image and credibility, as well as the release of electoral reports in record time. However, I have to aknowledge those who preceded the current electoral organism, and I should add that the experience in the electoral process held by the commission colleages was achieved through time and hard, creative work. Counting with the initiative of this personnel was inspiring, because thanks to their example, we improved our physical facilities and acquired advanced technical systems and equipment that allowed us to deliver better service to the electorate. We have crossed horizons and placed ourselves within an international context to let our electoral system be known to the world. For these reasons, I invite you to share in this report the achievements of the men and women who, joined hand in hand by a dedication to hard "Carrying out eight electoral events between work and orientation to results, changed history to 1991 and 1996 gave the Commission the opportunity to accomplish a world record the benefit of Puerto Rican democracy and the number of results in electoral events State Elections Commission. successfully held and reported." 8 Introduction his report is a summary of all the work carried out Tby the State Elections Commission during the electoral events held between 1991 and 1996. Here you will find the highlights, processes, laws, achievements and the work carried out by each division of the Commission and, above all, the goals achieved from 1991 and 1996. The Commission would have liked to present this work report much earlier; however, the 1991 Referendum on Democratic Rights Law initiated a chain of subsequent electoral events, including the 1992 Presidential Primaries, the 1992 Political Party Primaries, the 1992 General Elections, the 1993 Plebiscite on Political Status Formulas, the 1994 Referendum on Amendments to the Constitution, the 1995 Political Party Primaries and the 1996 General Elections wich delayed the report's production. Holding all these electoral events, and delivering the constant services provided to the electorate by the Commission, required a great degree of direction, planning and organization on the part of the State Elections Commission. If we try to recall the work done during this time, or if we search through press files and newspaper reports, we If we search through would probably find in this memories, as well as in public press files and opinion, positive notes which point to a united work newspaper reports, we would probably team joined in performing an excellent job. find in this memories, as well as in public opinion, positive notes which point to a united work team joined in performing an excellent job 9 For the past years, the Commission has become an agent of change. Together we have achieved monumental goals; notable among these is the construction of a new headquarters building at a cost of over fifty million dollars, which will be ready for occupancy between 1998 and 1999. Also remarkable are the formalization of relations with several international electoral organizations, our active participation as consultants and observers in Latin American countries, and our entrance into the Interamerican Union of Electoral Organisms. In the meantime, we have held eight electoral events, emphasized the development of our technological infrastructure, and have set the foundations for the Commission’s entry into the XXI century as an efficient and modern organism that retains the people’s credibility and trust. Hon. Juan R. Melecio, SEC President 1809 Puerto Rico's first elections take place 10 Elections by Decree and General Elections of Delegates to the Spanish Courts, 1809-18961 Recount of Elections in Puerto Rico To begin a recount of the elections celebrated in Puerto Rico, we have to go back to 1809. Back then, the elections were very important because they were of constitutional type. These elections took place every two to three years to elect Delegates to the Spanish Courts, Attorneys and Senators. Since universal suffrage was limited, Puerto Ricans did not vote for political posts of the highest authority, like governor. Although, it was not until November 4, 1952 that Puerto Ricans voted to elect their own Governor for the very first time. In point of fact, the beginnings of the Puerto Rican election process have their roots deep inside the political environment of those years. Though, limited in several aspects, said environment was quite advanced in other aspects like electoral composition and distribution. The following recount shows the main events in Puerto Rican elections history.

  • The First Filipino and Boricua Historians
    Latin American Literary Review Goldwin Smith Hall, Cornell University • Ithaca, NY 14853 • 607-255-4155 Volume 45 / Number 90 2018 E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.lalrp.net Imperial Endnotes: The First Filipino and Boricua Historians Ernest Rafael Hartwell, PhD College of the Holy Cross ABSTRACT: The Philippines and Puerto Rico are part of a transoceanic archipelago of colonies that continued under Spanish rule throughout the 19th century, long after the Latin American wars of independence. This article examines parallel projects in anticolonial historiography from these two regions through the prism of converging and diverging articulations of authority. Specifically, two late 19th-century intellectuals, José Julián Acosta of Puerto Rico and José Rizal of the Philippines, dust off 17th- and 18th-century tomes of official Spanish colonial history, publishing critical editions of these histories. Acosta and Rizal insert their own voices into discussions over the past, present, and future of their colonies through the annotations that they append to the original texts. While scholars often affirm that the work of Latin American 19th-century writing is to facilitate the forgetting of differences in the service of community consolidation, I argue that these experiments in marginal historiography constitute a contentious and continual revisiting of difference at the root of the authors’ assertion of their own authority: difference from Spain, from the popular classes, and from other colonies. These projects of annotation expose the racialized nature of the colonial intellectuals’ constructions of authority, pointing to diverging understandings of the work of doubt in anticolonial historiography. The Philippines and Puerto Rico, often overlooked in studies of Latin American literature and history, are endnotes to Spain’s imperial saga.

  • La Masacre De Ponce: Una Revelación Documental Inédita
    LUIS MUÑOZ MARÍN, ARTHUR GARFIELD HAYS Y LA MASACRE DE PONCE: UNA REVELACIÓN DOCUMENTAL INÉDITA Por Carmelo Rosario Natal Viejos enfoques, nuevas preguntas Al destacar el cultivo de la historia de la memoria como uno de los tópicos en auge dentro la llamada “nueva historia cultural”, el distinguido académico de la Universidad de Cambridge, Peter Burke, hace el siguiente comentario en passant: “En cambio disponemos de mucho menos investigación…sobre el tema de la amnesia social o cultural, más escurridizo pero posiblemente no menos importante.”1 Encuentro en esta observación casual de Burke la expresión de una de mis preocupaciones como estudioso. Efectivamente, hace mucho tiempo he pensado en la necesidad de una reflexión sistemática sobre las amnesias, silencios y olvidos en la historia de Puerto Rico. La investigación podría contribuir al aporte de perspectivas ignoradas, consciente o inconscientemente, en nuestro acervo historiográfico. Lo que divulgo en este escrito es un ejemplo típico de esa trayectoria de amnesias y olvidos. La Masacre de Ponce ha sido objeto de una buena cantidad de artículos, ensayos, comentarios, breves secciones en capítulos de libros más generales y algunas memorias de coetáneos. Existe una tesis de maestría inédita (Sonia Carbonell, Blanton Winship y el Partido Nacionalista, UPR, 1984) y dos libros publicados recientemente: (Raúl Medina Vázquez, Verdadera historia de la Masacre de Ponce, ICPR, 2001 y Manuel E. Moraza Ortiz, La Masacre de Ponce, Publicaciones Puertorriqueñas, 2001). No hay duda de que los eventos de marzo de 1937 en Ponce se conocen hoy con mucho más detalles en la medida en que la historiografía y la memoria patriótica nacional los han mantenido como foco de la culminación a que conducía la dialéctica de la violencia entre el estado y el nacionalismo en la compleja década de 1930.

  • Heritage Month
    HARRIS BEACH RECOGNIZES NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States honors the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. We’re participating at Harris Beach by spotlighting interesting Hispanic public figures, and facts about different countries, and testing your language skills. As our focus on National Hispanic Heritage Month continues, this week we focus on a figure from the world of sports: Roberto Clemente, who is known as much for his accomplishments as humanitarian as he is for his feats on the field of play. ROBERTO CLEMENTE Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker of Puerto Rico, born August 18, 1934, has the distinction of being the first Latin American and Caribbean player to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He played right field over 18 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Clemente’s untimely death established the precedent that, as an alternative to the five-year retirement period, a player who has been deceased for at least six months is eligible for entry into the Hall of Fame. Clemente was the youngest of 7 children and was raised in Barrio San Antón, Carolina, Puerto Rico. During his childhood, his father worked as foreman of sugar crops located in the municipality and, because the family’s resources were limited, Clemente worked alongside his father in the fields by loading and unloading trucks. Clemente was a track and field star and Olympic hopeful before deciding to turn his full attention to baseball. His interest in baseball showed itself early on in childhood with Clemente often times playing against neighboring barrios.
